-Normal POV-

Lucy plopped herself between Natsu and Gray as Mira approached her from behind the counter with her glistening smile curled onto her lips.

"Good morning Lucy!" Mira said cheerfully, "Let me guess- strawberry milkshake?"

Lucy grinned, "You know me so well Mira!" She then looked around the guild noticing it was being loud and lively as usual. Socialization filled the whole room as well as the cheery laughter and of course the ruckus of a fight between a certain ice and fire mage.

Lucy smacked her forehead, "You guys are up at it this early?"

Her head was pounding since she was sitting between Natsu and Gray who would raise their voices even louder to each sentence they'd say. Most of all since she was stuck between them she'd have to be on high alert to make sure they didn't start throwing ice and flames at each other so that she wouldn't get struck by one of those.

Natsu sent a toothy grin to the celestial mage, "Well this time this Ice Princess started it."

"As if" Gray said rolling his eyes, "This idiot over here thinks the moment I walk into the guild to come and kick me hard in the face." He then turned his head to the side revealing a bright red footmark imprinted on his cheek.

Natsu chuckled even louder and Lucy couldn't help but join the dragon slayer's playful laughter. She absolutely loved Natsu and his childish, playful, immature, and protective personality. He was the one who brought her to Fairy Tail her dream guild, and day by day she'd be falling for him even more on their missions together.

Gray sighed as he watched Natsu and Lucy laugh at his imprinted cheek that burned from Natsu's flames that were on his foot when he kicked. He rubbed his cheek and soon joined along with their laughter. Even though there was times Team Natsu would get into fights with each other, Gray knew they'd always be there for each other.

"Here you are Lucy!" Mira said placing the strawberry milkshake onto the counter.

"Thanks Mira!" Lucy said as she swiftly took a long sip of her shake as she noticed Erza walking into the guild with a smile on implanted onto her face.

"Erza looks like she's in a good mood today." Gray said as he rested his arm on the counter.

"Hello everyone" Erza said taking a seat as Mira placed her daily strawberry cake in front of her, "Has anyone heard about the news?"

Lucy raised an eyebrow in curiosity, "What news?"

Erza took a quick bite of her cake shutting her eyes, "On the new mages coming to join Fairy Tail. You perhaps haven't since I just heard about it this morning. Apparently two mages are coming to Fairy Tail that are said to be from one of the main guilds."

Natsu's eyes widened as he let out a toothy grin, "I wonder if they are strong! Cause if they are I'd be happy to fight with them!"

Gray rested his head on his hand, "Is fighting all you think about Natsu?"

Erza fluttered her eyes opened, "I don't know but I'm quite curious to know which ones are exactly coming." She looked over to Mirajane who nodded to her which meant she was thinking the same thing she was.

Suddenly the guild doors of Fairy Tail were soon flung across the guild hall into the wall. Heads then turned the way to the two images that were standing in the sunlight pouring into the guild. Of course they couldn't make the faces of the two people since the shone was blinding them.

Natsu's eyes then widened even more as a quick glare adjusted to his face, "Don't tell me."

Gray clutched his fists tight, "What're you doing here?!"

Lucy squinted her eyes as she finally then realized who the two mages were. It was Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney from Sabertooth the same exact guild that Minerva was from the one who tortured her during one of the days.

Erza stood up from her seat with Natsu and Gray following behind her. She was hoping it wasn't these two but of course her instincts were correct. She stood in front of them her hand placed on her hip as she glared at them both.

"Well you trash sure do give a warmly welcome." Sting said sarcastically he then grinned at the sight of Natsu who was gritting his teeth and quietly growling in his throat.

"Answer my damn question why are you here?!" Gray said in a cold voice glaring at Sting and Rogue.

"It's quite simple really." Rogue said with his nonchalant expression, "We quit Sabertooth to come join Fairy Tail."

"So you're the two mages I heard about this morning?" Erza asked eyeing the two like a hawk.

"That's right." Sting said snickering as he crossed his arms, "Now where's your master?"

Mira then appeared out of nowhere with a smile on her face looking at Sting and Rogue, "Right this way." She then led the two dragon slayers towards Master Makarov's office leaving all of the Fairy Tail members with a confused expression.

"Out of all people it had to be them." Natsu said banging his foot on the floor, "I mean I won't mind fighting them and everything, but I can't forgive them for the things they've done to our nakama."

Erza then let out a deep breath, "I know I feel the same exact way Natsu but we always must remember what Master has taught us. Yesterday's enemy could become today's friend. Like Juvia and Gajeel! Remember they were in Phantom Lord and attacked the guild, but we gave them a second chance and look where they are now!"

Juvia peeked behind the pillar she was stalking Gray from, 'Gray-sama!"

Gray turned around to the source of the voice which led to the pillar but then saw no body standing there. Juvia let out a deep breath of relief that Gray hadn't noticed that she had been watching him the entire time.

Natsu crossed his arms, "I still don't like the fact though. I mean I could at least try, but I don't think it'll go anywhere."

Lucy smiled at Natsu as she then put a hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry Natsu we'll all try with this!"

Natsu gave a toothy smirk to the celestial mage who then lightly blushed. She looked him in the eye for about a minute as it was then interrupted by a loud voice.

"Brats as you can tell we've gotten new members!" Makarov said with a smile, "As well as an addition to our family! Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney! I hope you'll be treating them like you treat each other!"

Natsu let out a small sigh as he went back to talking to Lucy. He could tell that the guild was going to have triple the fights daily then they'd usually have. He then noticed the White Dragon Slayer making his way towards him, and the Shadow Dragon Slayer making his way towards Gajeel.

"If you're looking for a fight, I'm not in the mood right now." Natsu said looking Sting straight in the face, "As you can see I'm talking to Lucy right now."

Sting raised an eyebrow as a smirk curled on his lips, "Oh what is she your girlfriend? Tch as if Natsu-san! You're probably too dense to get a girl."

Natsu glared at him as he was about to say something, Lucy actually opened her mouth.

"And you're probably dense about treating a girl." Lucy said crossing her arms with a fire in her eye. She could tell that her impression about him was still the same when she first met him in Crocus.

Sting then began to walk over closer to Lucy lifting her chin up, "I know how to treat a girl trust me. I'd have her screaming my name begging for me. So I absolutely know how to treat a girl."

Lucy slapped his hand away, "What? Are you talking about in bed? That's probably the only thing you know how to treat a girl in! Cause in reality you don't even know the first step to!"

A mischievous expression appeared onto Sting's face as he bent over to whisper into her ear.

"Want to find out?"

It then happened without thinking. Lucy raised her hand in defense and swung sharply across the White Dragon Slayer's face. Natsu sat there stunned on what Lucy had just done and gave her a thumbs up along with a grin.

"I think that's a no." Natsu said roaring in laughter as the two began to laugh watching Sting glare at them as he pressed his cheek.

"You shouldn't really be hitting people who could easily crush you with one finger blondie." Sting said glaring a dark glare at Lucy who then shivered in fear as she felt goose bumps coming up.

Lucy then snapped out of her fear and rolled her eyes, "You're blonde too you know, Stingy-bee! Buzz off like a bee would you!"

A few chuckles came around the room even from Rogue who was now standing behind Sting. Sting turned around glaring at his partner who's expression then turned back emotionless acting like he wasn't even behind him.

"Come on Sting let's go." Rogue said as Sting shot one more glare back at Natsu and Lucy before agreeing on going with Rogue. The two then began to head out the guild door while Natsu and Lucy then started laughing again.

"That's what's probably going to be happening half the time now." Natsu said grinning.

-With Rogue and Sting-

"Why is there a red hand print across your cheek?" Rogue asked raising an eyebrow at the sight of the red mark.

"Tch that stupid weak trash decided it was okay to slap me." Sting said crossing his arms as they walked down the street.

Stupid blondie Sting thought to himself.

"Well what would you expect?" Rogue asked, "You probably said something to set her off."

"All I said was a comment about Natsu-san!"

Rogue looked at Sting with his ruby red eyes, "And what else? I know that's not all you said."

Sting chuckled lightly, "Well she said I didn't know how to treat woman right when obviously I do. After all I'm the Great Sting Eucliffe! I think I've had experience! And then I offered her to find out and then she slapped me."

Rogue smacked his forehead, "That's pleasing a woman not treating a woman idiot. And I think any girl would smack some random guy that offers them that."

"Tch whatever" Sting said rolling his eyes. But he found Lucy quite interesting he'd never met any woman like her back at Sabertooth considering half the woman in Sabertooth weren't even twice as attractive. Besides the pleasing and treating crap confused him since apparently pleasing was all the woman in Sabertooth wanted. Why were Fairy Tail woman so complicated!?

"She's interesting alright." Sting said to Rogue with a grin full of mischief, "I think I'd like to give her a try."

Rogue tilted his head to the ground and chuckled, "That's if you can get her to fall in love with you."

"What do you mean?"

Rogue looked at him with a small grin, "Can't you tell? Natsu is the one she's in love with."
